Explore various ways to engage students in their reading and writing using the power of the Internet.

Food for Thought:
“What our schools teach our students is good, but we need to change the context in which they learn, provide our students with opportunities to interact with the "real world" in real ways. The future of education is interactive, because that's what the jobs are in the "infoconomy". The future of education is communal, because the internet is communication. And this is what our students want! To be active. To be real. To have purpose. To interact. To have FUN!” The Aristotle Experiment!
